Staff profile

Liz Robson

Manager

In 2016, when a friend mentioned she was attending a BDS book club, Liz promptly invited herself along! She has a wonderful time meeting with her BDS group enjoying a lot of laughs, a few too many snacks, and a selection of fascinating books she would otherwise not have read. 

Hailing from Sydney, Liz has lived in Christchurch for 15 years and calls New Zealand home. As a child, Liz used to volunteer as school lunch-time library monitor because covering books was a good excuse to stay inside in the air conditioning. Liz joined the BDS team in May 2024. She is always up for a chat and is on hand to answer your queries and say hello when you pop in.

Poignant auto-biographies are Liz’s favourite literary genre, but she enjoys a wide variety of books including historical fiction, classics, dystopia and anything by a quirky Swede.  Some of Liz’s favourites from the BDS catalogue include: The Glass Castle, The Kite Runner, The Paris Library, Station Eleven, The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window, and Beartown.
